PARISH FAMILY 45 UPDATES
Update - April 9, 2025
All parish families in our archdiocese are tasked with forming a “Parish Family Advisory Council”. This council is comprised of parishioners from all three locations in our parish family, and their task is to help our parish family discern our future parish life.
We are excited to announce the Parish Family 45 Advisory Council! Please keep this council in your prayers as we continue to work through the Partners in the Gospel process.
All parishioners at all three locations will have the opportunity to participate in this process through listening sessions throughout different stages of the process. Please watch the bulletin for more information on when these listening sessions will take place.

Update - February 2, 2025
Five parishioners from across the three churches in Parish Family 45 have agreed to serve as members of our new Hospitality Team! This team will be meeting in regard to shared parish liturgies, celebrations, and the annual parish family picnic. Their role will be to organize each event and find members from their church campus to do the work necessary to run the event. At the moment, the events on the schedule include the Confirmation Mass, Parish Family Picnic, and the Rite of Election reception. This team also assisted with the 175th anniversary celebration at the Proto Cathedral on January 25.

This is just one of many small steps along the journey to becoming one canonical parish in 2027. Thank you for your patience and understanding as we work toward that goal!
